First, turn off your PS3 and unplug it for a good 30 minutes. If it's overheating, this should help. Clean out the vents to make sure there’s no dust clogging things up.

The red blinking light is usually caused by overheating or a hardware failure. My advice: unplug it, let it cool down, and clean it.
